Help sleeping

I've been either sleeping too much someday or not at all. Besides melatonin does anyone know of a over the counter sleep aid I can use for those nights that are impossible for me to sleep?! Thanks in advance.

I have tried passionflower before and it helps me. I tried the capsules but they were kinda strong so you might want to try the drops to regulate how much you need.

I talked to my psychologist about this. She said melatonin helps with triggering your body it’s time to sleep, but does nothing for insomnia because insomnia keeps you awake even when exhausted and you want to sleep. She recommended Zzzquill which is non habit forming and contains no alcohol. I get it at Walmart and it works quite well. My daughter uses it too as her insomnia is worse than mine at times. We both feel rested and like we got good sleep on nights we need the Zzzquill. I hope that helps.
